Back in the Saddle again...

As of January 21st I am officially a working women again. I finally quit my complaining and got a job. I feel so blessed and so thankful that 1- I was able to find a job in this economy, and 2-that I found a job I love doing. I will be back in the mortgage business as a processor. I will be working at only the best credit union in the world, America First!!

I am a little nervous, but I loved processing before so hopefully I will love it again. I am going to miss sleeping in and having a clean house all the time, but I sure am going to love having some extra cash!

I think Im going crazy!!

I was showering and looked up, and I saw this...
I swear people are coming to me in the form of shapes all over the house. Here I see a man praying, whats the deal? Maybe someone is trying to tell me something.
I will keep you all posted of all future images...

Tottle and his guitar..

Well Todd has finally done it. After 3 years of talk, he went ahead and signed up for some guitar lessons. We have an awesome family in our ward (that we love love love love love) that are the most musically gifted people we have ever met. They are the Streulings (related to the Lameroux's in TN, talent must run in the family!!), and their son Kipp is giving Todd lessons once a week. Today was Todd's very first lesson and I have to say I was impressed. Todd will have this down in No time!!

Mmm Mmm Good...

Todd and I mastered the chicken, so naturally it was time to move on. We ordered an 1/8th of a cow from a friend, and started bottling. We are starting with hamburger meat, and have a ton of steak and roasts to try out next. In the meantime please enjoy these yummy looking bottles of hamburger meat. As gross as they look, it is actually the best hamburger I have ever had. We opened one to try, and boy oh boy was it Mmm Mmm Good!!

Merry Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from the Cottle's, we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! We had a fun trip down to St George, and were lucky enough to spend time with Todd's Dad and his sweet family!! It was fun watching the kids open their presents. These kids are super sweet and the most grateful kids I have ever met. They thanked their parents all day for their presents!! We had such a great time with them!!! We miss you munchkins already!!
Hope you all had a glorious day!!

Do you see what I see?

Do you see her? I swear she is there. This pregnant lady is on the ceiling right above my bed. She is there every night, and I might be crazy but I feel like I have to say goodnight to her. I have named her Victoria because her hair is reminiscent of the early 1900's. She has it up in a high elegant bun!! Seriously do you see her, or am I nuts?? Here is my outline so you can see her better...

Weekend Fun!!

(Again no excuses but my camera stinks!!)

Oh my goodness...I love Todd's family!! This past weekend they came up for a visit, and boy-oh-boy did we have fun!! Friday night we went and saw the lights at temple square, and Saturday evening we had the whole family up for dinner.

I love Mark and Michelle so very much, they are the kindest, sweetest, and most compassionate people I know. Their kids are adorable too. Lauren, Amanda, Christian, and Hayden are all bundles of fun, and they sure do love their older brother. You should see them with Todd. They cuddle right up to him and make him smile in a way no one else can.

We had such a great time with them and we cant wait to see them again!! Hopefully they will venture up here more often, and we will make it down there more too.

Thanks for a great weekend Cottle family and we cant wait to see you at Christmas, love you all!
